Depends on the plant really. My mom has decades old synagoniums hanging from her closets that were never climbing, those have insanely huge leaves and are so dense and thick with leaves. It is a smart and natural thing to give them an upright climbing station to thrive but we all love them because it looks cool when they are hanging😂

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

No problems with that! A hanging plant can definitely look nice 👍

[@Omgiamsotriggered]

@@SheffieldMadePlants Yeah but I also do believe part of that is because they are already on the really tall closet, meaning they are already on the brightest spot in the room. I really have a strong wish to make myself a climbing plant with moss but I am so lazy with plant maintence (which is crazy because I have around 50 plants, and none died, they are thriving in winter LOL).

The cactus you referred to as a barrel is actually a Saguaro. These plants live about 150 years. They are native to the Sonoran desert in Arizona USA.

[@sho-es2fi]

i would just like to mention, you don’t NEED a moss pole. if you prefer your plants trailing out of the pot that’s totally ok! plants don’t need to be their biggest or at their max potential to be happy! :) there are also moss pole alternatives, like streaks. not to mention your plants could trail out of their pot, and find something else to climb, like a bed post, or a railing, or a bookshelf, or a wall. anything climbable really.

[@TheNetsrac]

Those designer trellises are very unique and beautyful. I live close to a forest, so I usually go there to find sticks and or branches to use as climbing poles for my plants. Only using dead wood of course, no living trees are harmed 😀 I like the natural look of real tree branches or the stems of young trees, that's been cut down when trimming the forrest. Plenty of 2-4cm wide young stems, up to 150 cm high. leaving the bark on, they look good (IMO) and blend in very well with any plant

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Very handy to have access to that!

I’m lucky enough to live in an area where fresh water rivers meet the ocean and this area is a gold mine for long interesting pieces of drift wood, the branches of drift wood I use for climbing poles for my plants which gives them a interesting look as they look like their climbing small trees.

I recently bought a 6-foot cedar plank at a hardware store for $10 CDN. I actually think the natural finish looks lovely! I want to climb a marble queen pothos. It’s only one leaf currently, and it looks so bare and sad. 😆 The plant will upsize its leaves as it climbs, so it’s best to start the plant from the bottom of whatever stake you’re using.

I’m just not finding trellises that are long enough for the price I want to pay so I plan to go after work to look for wooden base molding that has one nice side. Need something that is at least 5 feet long. I can get nice decorative metal trellises on Temu for cheap but my plants outgrow them. The wood or plastic type that fit together to make longer are always too flimsy or tend to lean or fall over. I’ve a real dilemma but believe I will find what I need after wandering Menards, Lowe’s or Home Depot. I’m on a mission! 🤣👍🏼

[@roxannegordon6162]

What to do when the plants gets taller than the pole? Buy a bigger one? The medium size (what is shown here) is $40 (US) beyond my budget. I have the moss poles with the sections to make it taller. I don't have the wire moss pole that you make with moss filling. I do have 2 planks, Philodendron Dubia on planks. Dubi one is almost 4' tall, Dubi 2 is shorter and insists on winding around the plank, not going straight up. I have an Ivy that is very long. I don't know how long since it's wrapped around a macramé hanger. The soil is rock hard. I need to repot it but afraid I'll kill it. How can it grow in rock hard soil? It's amazing.

My hoyas, philodendrons, photos and jasmine climb live bamboos. My bougainvillea climb walls. My black pepper vines and butterfly peas climb mango trees. The difference for outdoor plants is the limit of 6ft vertical height and they have to go down again for proper nourishment (for agricultural plants like my pepper and butterfly cowpeas.) But the ornamentals can go way up the rain trees like the monstera is so beautiful if you let them go wild. Their flowers are colorful and I only see them when they fall.

The problem with the poles. Is that they are not long enough for the plant. My mothers heart philo grew 15ft tall. It trailed off the shelf and grew that large. It was very dense. I dont think they make a trellises that large for it to climb up. I had that issue keep the orange trumpet plant that was eager to reach the sky outside in my yard. It climed every one and i just had to give up. I cant find anything long enough for it to climb up anymore. I used scrap metal stakes and poles to help that heavy plant climb.

[@Faesharlyn]

Is air layering an option? He has a great video showing how, you'd be able to root it then cut it back at the height you want and plant it beside the original and benefit from the training you've given it by continuing on with the same matured nodes. The original plant, once it's "front" node is cut off, will send out side shoots that you can then send up the pole or air layer and make a whole new plant!

Good morning! Oh my goodness..its so obvious..climbing plants go upwards. Thank you for sharing 👍👍🌿x

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@MHart-xr6qg]

I always knew them by trailing plants! I have a pothos on the second floor loft that has 5 stems handing down abt 20 feet to the floor and are curling up. I'm feeling like a bad plant mom. So what happens when the plant is at the top of the trellis?

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

@@MHart-xr6qg when it outgrows it you can trim the plant back and use the cuttings for extra plants 😁

[@karenfreedman9180]

I bought 2! I think it is a fabulous idea!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Great!

[@sufiblade]

Oh what a wonderful coincidence with the sponsor

[@mariepatterson7804]

Beautiful thank you for sharing I was wondering what they were called

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

You bet!

[@morsecodereviews1553]

I have one of my golden pothos trailing away across the wall and the ceiling. One of these days I'm gonna make custom "moss poles" for them. I've got all the supplies, however, as I work overnights, I'm just too lazy😁

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Amen!

[@haitch04]

You don't mention the little stick on clips in this video, do you still recommend these as another option? Thanks again for all the info ❤

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Yes there are lots of solutions. Just depends on what you like really

[@MagicZebra311]

I have to contradict you: I think your bamboo climbing poles look pretty. 😁

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Fair enough 😁

[@EMuro-wu7uy]

Those trellis are beautiful

@Sheffield Made Plants Just joined your Patreon 👍🏻 🌱 🌿

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@debrap947]

My Pothos go crazy just hanging down...I have to trim them back all the time. The same with the Hoya, geez that thing is crazy!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Hoyas do go wild!

After watching this, I sprung into action! But, it’s night time, and anyway I’m short on the readies. Sooo as a short time measure, I got my glue gun out and glued some long kebab skewers into a fan trellis shape. They will do for my small Pothos and Philo’s until they get a bit bigger. They look better already lol. Those Tréleaf supports look amazing! Not cheap, but adorable! Thanks for the info. As a UK resident, I like taking your advice because you deal with our climate. Not growers who live in very warm climates where it seems their plants reach the ceiling without much effort

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks you 😊 That’s a very creative solution!

[@user-wc6vv3fk5d]

love those...

[@countrygirl4422]

The Manjula is another pretty pothos that has some beautiful variegation.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Yes they are!

[@valeriehopebennett]

BEAUTIFUL WOW THANKS LOVE IT SUCCESS

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@swiftkarma4436]

I got mune because they remind me of my grandma who had a beautiful that she watered with rain water.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Great stuff 👍

[@d.renemorgan8848]

I love the look of the wooden trellises... But absolutely not going to pay 50 bucks a piece for a little tiny piece of wood. Guess I'm going to have to try to make something up on my own

[@Stettafire]

Agreed. I guarentee you it's just a flimsey bit of laser cut plywood. Laser cutting is very cheap nowadays.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Not sure why you would make disparaging comments without knowing anything about it

[@mwatson4970]

Treleaf has non-stained ones for like $19, and I have some of their wall ones that are beautiful and very sturdy. Support a small women-owned business or not, but for a few showstopper plants, worth it!

[@garnishyourcurry]

I used moss pole for monstera plant but it had fungus developed within a week now I am scared to use any of these options can you please do a video on this subject or if you have made video for this can you please provide the link ?

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Not got a video on this yet

[@conniecurotto5927]

I've made the mistake of keeping these climbing plants as 'hanging' plants. What proper hanging plants would you recommend? (I really like the look of them). Thanks for your content! as a new plant parent I've learned a lot :)

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thank you. Probably plants with small delicate leaves like string of hearts and the like.

[@ChessieChess]

Spider plants, creeping Charlie/Swedish Ivy, rainbow moss fern and my favorite-the kangaroo paw fern
